Pinnace

Pinnace is a fresh, fruity citrus from French Avenue, released in 2024 for women. Citrus is the accord everyone names, and about half also find it gourmand, musky, aromatic or ambery.

Grapefruit and orange open it with a bright, juicy zest, the grapefruit adding a pleasant bitterness. Blackcurrant follows with a tart, slightly jammy fruitiness that gives the scent its sweet side, and mint threads a cool, clean freshness through the first half that keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. There is no elaborate floral heart; instead the scent moves fairly directly to its base, where ambroxan gives a smooth, mineral, slightly salty warmth and plenty of lift on the skin, and musk softens the finish into something clean and close.

It is a daytime fragrance for warm weather, simple and bright, and it suits anyone who wants a citrus scent with a little fruit sweetness and a modern ambroxan dry-down. People who like grapefruit-and-blackcurrant combinations will find it easy to enjoy.
